Why I Write


we are taught our way of life by a young age from doing name poems in elementary to haikus in middle school somewhere in life art became a passion for me writing is an outlet of feelings, emotions, and secrets I can’t just tell anyone I AM A ARTIST the more I began to write, I felt the more I began to see I was learning to trust myself more than I could trust others so many words still not enough time words can make a simple statement magical, complicated, and a code for many I AM A ARTIST The pictures I can create with words The secrets I can create with words The meanings I can create with words The characters I can create with words The emotions I can create with words The life I can create with words … the life that can be taken with words I hold the key AM the author of my life A ARTIST to a world so close minded writing is my gateway drug to success, success is where I take my writing
